Assessor

 

Our Assessor is the official who estimates the value of real property within the Town's boundaries. This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills. The Town of Groveland is the designated assessing authority for the Town Groveland, and for school district property in the town. The Assessor's office is also responsible for processing all real property exemptions.
